No! No! You would not say a five hours drive!!!! In spoken English, maybe, but to be written correctly it must be a five-hour drive (or five hours' drive). May I also add that the internet is not a reliable grammar reference! There are all sorts writing any old thing on the internet but it doesn't mean it's correct!!

May I suggest English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy (units 79 & 80) instead of the internet?
